Ellie Mae here, I am a wonderful girl, but I have a very short tail. Thats ok, just means I won't knock anything off of your coffee table!
I'm so happy, and wiggly, and I give kisses and make little peeping noises, cause I'm so happy!
But there is one thing missing from my life- it's a real family to call my own. I sure do dream of having someone to cuddle up with at night- someone who will talk to me and take me for walks- and tell me that I will never be alone again!! Maybe you have a place in your heart for a special little girl like me??
I love other dogs and would make a great addition to any family!!
MORE ABOUT TREEING WALKER HOUNDS
The Treeing Coonhound is good with children and gets along with other dogs. Training is accomplished with little trouble, as these dogs are able to learn from example. They are primarily working and hunting dogs but will also make a great companion dog. Working, to the Treeing Walker Coonhound, is not work but a sport and diversion. They thrive on consistent and ample attention. Loving and eager to please, the Treeing Walker is intelligent, skilled and confident.
They have a tendency to run off and hunt if they are not kept well-fenced while exercising on their own. They have no road sense at all, so they must be kept in a safe environment. They need to be taken on a daily, brisk, long walk or jog.
They love to nest and cuddle and getting a walker hound out of your bed will be a feat in itself. Generally easy to train with little trouble, they make excellent pets if well exercised. Training must be consistent as Walker hounds are extremely intelligent and will take full advantage of loopholes in the training regimen. These hounds have been known to use objects as levers/tools and often manipulate their environment to accomplish a task (e.g., moving furniture to climb over gates, using household objects to manipulate kennel mechanisms, etc.)
Because they are eager to please, loving, intelligent and confident, they make a splendid companion dog for an owner willing to give them proper exercise.
Most Walker hounds are capable of scaling fences in excess of 6 feet so a proper yard system whether fence or electric fence is a must. They bury bones and dig if they are on scent. In general, they are oblivious to commands when trailing a scent, much like a beagle or basset hound so it is imperative for a walker hound to have serious training and a safe running area free of cars or other potential dangers. They have strong tracking instincts, which is why they are popular as hunting dogs.
